1. Ideology is advanced and reflects the characteristics of the times
At that time, Soviet films were influenced by the political situation and ideology, and Soviet films carried the functions of propaganda and cognition. This film tells the whole context of the October Revolution with superb narration and editing. Oppose exploitation and oppression, advocate equality and freedom; criticize capitalism and promote socialism. Films show new editing techniques and also show the world new social formations.
2. Use of rational montage to reflect the spirit of innovation
Rational montage refers to the generation of a completely new meaning after two completely unrelated images and meanings. When the film tells about the exploitation of capitalism, the picture of the bourgeoisie enjoying laughter and the dying horse is edited together, which creates a new concept. These bourgeoisie exploit these people who work as hard as horses, while they themselves enjoy a life of luxury. This set of shots skips the narrative screen itself, showing a concept that the overthrow of the October Revolution and the struggle for power were legitimate and reasonable. The innovation is reflected in this film technique.
